BOV and drop in.

I have reverted back to the stock intake because it feels better for some reason. Like it has more throttle response for me. Anyways, I have three questions/favors to ask:

1.) I miss the BOV sound, is there anyway to bring out the stock BOV sound with the stock intake on anyways? I would prefer to stay with the stock BOV but I miss the sound.

2.) Are after market BOVs all universal or does one need a specific one specified for that car only? What and how is the install of the BOV on the X? Are there any complication or is it a smooth install and simply works?

3.) Can someone be kind enough for me and give me a link to where I can buy the HKS drop in filter for the X while keeping in mind that I can not speaking Japanese? lol..like an English site that does shipping of the product.

Thanks in advance
-Tom

you want a bov that makes flutter sounds? lol. get an adjustable bov and set it incorrectly so it flutters. lol

staying stock, there isnt any way to have the stock dv make enough sound with the stock airbox. you can try removing the recirc line but you'll prob have driveability issues.

how about hacking the stock airbox to fit an open air filter in it. it looks big enough. then you can have the sound of the stock DV

I got the HKS drop in coming so I am not going cone. The cone sucked the life out of the low end in my car.
